The original Super Nintendo Entertainment System reached North America in August 1991, launching in Europe a year later. The North American version came with “Super Mario World,” and later titles included “SimCity,” “Pilotwings," "Secret of Mana," "Chrono Trigger," "Final Fantasy II" and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."

Nintendo last week announced it would discontinue 2016's NES Classic, a microconsole with 30 built-in games from the original 1983 system.

“Throughout April, NOA [Nintendo of America] territories will receive the last shipments of Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition systems for this year," the company told IGN. "We encourage anyone interested in obtaining this system to check with retail outlets regarding availability."

Nintendo released a limited number of the devices during the 2016 Christmas season, leading to accusations that the short supply was done on purpose to increase demand and sales.

The SNES mini will reportedly come with a library of games pre-installed, along with a plug-and-play setup similar to its predecessor, the NES Classic.
